Key result
Boiling pt.:
297.4 °C
Remarks on result:
other: No pressure reported

After the heating process a black residue remains in the crucible indicating decomposition of the test item.

Conclusions:
The boiling point of the test substance was 297 °C. No pressure was reported.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the boiling point of the test substance by DTA/DSC according to EC A.2 and OECD 103.

The sample was weighed in a crucible made of aluminium with perforated lid, placed in a DTA/DSC-system, and adjusted to 180 °C. The sample was then heated up to 330 °C (heating rate 5 K/min). In comparison with an inert sample (empty crucible) the temperature difference and the heat effect was recorded.

A steep endothermic signal was observed and evaluated to give the following boiling point: 297.4 °C. No pressure was reported. After the heating process a black residue remains in the crucible indicating decomposition of the test substance.

Description of key information

A study was conducted to determine the thermal behaviour and stability of the test substance by DTA/DSC according to EC A.2 and OECD 103.

The sample was adjusted to 180 °C and then heated up to 330 °C.

A boiling point of 297.4 °C was determined for the test substance. After the heating process a black-brownish residue remains in the crucible indicating decomposition of the test substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
297.4 °C
